Sink or Swim: Things You Can Be Doing Now to Grow Your Business

Are you serious about growing your business? Are you securing the customers you want? What about maximizing your cash and minimizing risks?

Learn five things you could be doing to ensure your business succeeds in 2011. In seven evening sessions, you can learn from our top business and legal pros how to:

  1. Assess your business: Take a step back and see how you stack up among competitors. Are you on track with your goals? Are you building the value of your company?
     
  2. Reach out to prospects: Build a powerful program to attract qualified prospects. Discover where your target customers get their information and make sure they know about your solution.
     
  3. Make sales, cash a priority: Build a reliable sales forecast and implement processes to achieve it. Manage your cash so you can take advantage of opportunities that arise. Set triggers to manage the financial health of your business.
     
  4. Review your legal risks: Protect your company and yourself by securing proper employee, customer and supplier contracts. Review all product and service liability, patents and intellectual property issues.
     
  5. Rely on others: Avoid common mistakes by getting advice from people who have been there. Build a team of advisors to help assess the potential of your enterprise, secure the right financing plan and partners, and keep your growth objectives on track.
